Thanks.Â* Are we talking an optical microscope, or something digital? Any recommendation? I've tried binoculars since the surgery, and they work very well, much better than before. Modern smartphone with the rear camera and LED turned on, "magnifying glass" app, gripped in a pair of QuadHands is an expedient "low tech" solution that's not half bad at all! https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4b2on7yy1n9u14/Photo%20Dec%2008%2C%202%2019%2007%20PM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.amazon.com/QuadHands-Helping-Hands-Third-Soldering/dp/B00GIKVP5K How long did it take for your brain to fixup the hand-eye coordination? I tried a similar solution and could never get my hands to go where my vision wanted them to go. Hi, sorry for the delay in my reply. Probably related to my experience in Missile Command, After Burner 2, Outrun, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers, etc. 1983 - 1995 |
